President Trump announces a hat trick in trade deals, with a half-trillion dollar deal with Japan and also with the Philippines and Indonesia. Democrats, however, with no plays left and the crowd too loud for an audible, run up the middle and get stuffed by their own schemes. Listen to Elizabeth Warren and congressman Jim Hines grasp at straws to RESIST TRUMP. Netflix drops news of a Jussie Smollett documentary whose ending you simply won't believe.

Happy NO KINGS DAY! Today, as nationwide protests sweep America, historian and activist Mark Bray argues that Trump and his MAGA movement represent a type of American fascism rooted in the country's long history of racist backlash against the struggle for civil rights. As the author of the iconic Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook, Bray connects today's resistance to Trump to historical anti-fascist movements, from the KKK's post-Civil War violence to European fascism of the 1930s. He discusses protest strategies, the role of violence in resistance movements, social media's impact on organizing, and why disrupting "business as usual" matters more than just electoral politics in fighting authoritarianism. Long Live the NO KING. Five Key Takeaways* Trump represents American fascism, not just populism or patrimonialism - Bray argues the MAGA movement is "pretty unequivocally fascist," drawing on ultranationalism, militarism, and the glorification of violence that characterizes historical fascism.* American fascism has deep historical roots - Rather than being imported from Europe, fascistic tendencies emerged from America's own racist institutions, with the post-Civil War KKK representing the first "proto-fascist formation" in functional terms.* Disruption matters more than electoral politics - Effective resistance requires making "business as usual" impossible, forcing issues into national conversation and raising the political costs of authoritarian policies beyond just voting.* Violence remains a tactical question, not a moral absolute - Bray argues that while reasonable people can disagree about when to use force, removing it entirely from the "toolbox" of resistance may prove too late when facing genuine fascism.* Social media is a double-edged organizing tool - While platforms can rapidly mobilize movements like Occupy Wall Street, they also create instability, allow right-wing manipulation, and risk replacing sustained community organizing with quick digital fixes.MARK BRAY is a historian of human rights, political violence, and politics in Modern Europe at Rutgers University. He earned his BA in Philosophy from Wesleyan University in 2005 and his PhD in History from Rutgers University in 2016. He is the author of Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook (Melville House 2017), The Anarchist Inquisition: Assassins, Activists, and Martyrs in Spain and France (Cornell 2022), Translating Anarchy: The Anarchism of Occupy Wall Street (Zero 2013), and the co-editor of Anarchist Education and the Modern School: A Francisco Ferrer Reader (PM Press 2018). His work has appeared in Foreign Policy, The Washington Post, Salon, Boston Review, and numerous edited volumes.Named as one of the "100 most connected men" by GQ magazine, Andrew Keen is amongst the world's best known broadcasters and commentators. In addition to presenting the daily KEEN ON show, he is the host of the long-running How To Fix Democracy interview series. He is also the author of four prescient books about digital technology: CULT OF THE AMATEUR, DIGITAL VERTIGO, THE INTERNET IS NOT THE ANSWER and HOW TO FIX THE FUTURE.

President Trump rattles the nation's legal industry as he targets law firms he views as enemies. Plus, Hillary Clinton weighs in on the administration's “dumb” behavior following the attack plans group chat. And, the White House turns its attention to Greenland, again, and Vladimir Putin supports it. Jon Allen, Dave Weigel, Kristy Greenberg, Basil Smikle, Susan Del Percio, Jon Meacham, and Brad Meltzer join as Charles Coleman Jr. hosts The 11th Hour this Friday night.

It's got a population smaller than Paris' Latin Quarter, but thanks to Donald Trump, the whole world's watching Greenland. As citizens of the Arctic Danish dependency choose between six main parties, all pro-independence to varying degrees, we'll ask how locals voting in parliamentary elections feel about the US president promising Congress to get the mineral-rich island “one way or another”. Even if it means taking on traditional allies. Denmark's an EU and NATO member that equips its military with hardware made in the USA. What does Trump's hard bargaining say about the times we live in? New imperialism, melting polar ice caps, housing and social challenges, we'll ask how changing times are impacting the life of Greenland's 56,865 inhabitants and what lessons we can all draw from the global attention they're suddenly getting. Produced by Rebecca Gnignati, Elisa Amiri, Ilayda Habip.

Colorado Gov. Jared Polis has an independent streak and a big job leading the National Governors Association. Here's what he's telling fellow governors about when to work with Trump and when to oppose him, how he thinks that Trump is hurting himself, and what the first thing Elon Musk and DOGE should cut is.  Eugene Daniels is a Playbook co-author for POLITICO.

The Federal Reserve plans to maintain its benchmark interest rate during its upcoming meeting, even as President Donald Trump calls for lower rates. Inflation stands at 2.4%, above the 2% target, while core inflation has risen 2.8% over the past year. Jerome Powell, the Fed Chair, aims to control inflation without causing a recession. The Fed reduced the key rate to 4.3% in late 2024, with indications of only two possible rate cuts this year. A possibility of a rate cut in March exists, but it has a low likeliness. The current 30-year mortgage rate dropped just below 7%, indicating persistently high borrowing costs despite reductions by the Fed. Trump's administration considers 25% tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico and mass deportations, which could influence inflation and production capacity. The Fed could reassess the labor market in its forthcoming statement, particularly due to positive employment reports showing a decrease in the unemployment rate to 4.1%. These factors may suggest that minimal rate adjustments are necessary moving forward.Learn more on this news visit us at: https://greyjournal.net/ Hosted on Acast.

"Clinton seeks common ground with Republicans," reported the Associated Press in 1994. "Obama hosts dinner, urges bipartisanship," announced the AP again, in 2009. "Resist Trump? On Immigration, Top Democrats See Room for Compromise," stated The New York Times in late 2024. For decades, we've heard Democratic policymakers extol the virtues of working with Republicans. Through a series of stock terms, e.g. bipartisanship, finding common ground, reaching across the aisle, compromising, they tout their willingness to set aside their political differences with Republicans in order to stop quibbling, quit stalling, work pragmatically, and––the holiest of the holies––Get Things Done. This all might sound well and good; surely an active government is better than an idle, incapacitated one. But which things, exactly, are getting done? Why is it that the act of making decisions or passing legislation is deemed more important to elected officials than the actual content of those decisions and legislation? And how does an incurious, largely compliant media contribute to the harms of a Democratic party that, in its embrace of Republican ideology under the seeming noble banner of "bipartisanship" continues to move further to the right on key issues? On this episode, we dissect the popular appeal for bipartisanship, examine how folksy calls for “Washington” to “work together” more often than not serve to promote war, austerity, anti-LBGTQ policies and crackdown on vulnerable migrants, and show how this seemingly high minded formulation serves to push Republicans further right and launder the Democrats' increasingly conservative political agenda. Our guest is journalist and author Malaika Jabali.

As we are less than a week away from President Trump's second Inauguration, security concerns regarding the twice attempted-assassination victim.

What to Expect from the Far Left During Trump's Second TermAs Trump's second administration looms, the far left is already gearing up—and their playbook is clear.In this episode, I break down three key strategies you'll see from far-left activists:* Radicalizing the disillusioned: Turning upset Democrats, Progressives, and Liberals into activists.* Shifting the narrative: Rebranding their messaging from “Free Palestine” to “Resist Trump.”* Rallying around immigration: Mobilizing against Trump's anticipated mass deportation policies.Tune into the podcast for a deeper analysis of how the far left plans to seize this moment and what it means for the political landscape.My work is completely grassroots funded by people like you, and my only obligation is to tell you the truth and show you the receipts.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.politix.fmThis week, with so many American liberals and leaders abroad worrying about what a second Trump term will mean for them, Matt and Brian examine the many political differences between fear and fearlessness. For instance:* If Trump's threats have become more literal and less figurative, how can liberals most effectively oppose him without sounding like panicky wimps?* Have Trump-curious business elites taken leave of their senses, or do they really think Trump can't possibly harm American capitalism more than huge corporate tax cuts will “help”?* Do progressives agree that Trump is an existential threat to democracy? And if so, are they receptive to muscular “bring it on” politics, or are crisis and doom the only appeals that speak to them. Then, behind the paywall, Brian and Matt take a look at global and domestic developments—from the Mexican election to diplomacy in the Middle East and the zombie border bill in Congress—to assess how actors with everything on the line are changing their behavior and contingency planning for a second Trump term. If they're freaking out, why shouldn't we be? If the situation is so dire, shouldn't Biden entertain more drastic measures? Can U.S. leaders be simultaneously clear eyed in planning for the worst and resolute (rather than cowering) in their resistance?Answers to all those questions, plus the full Politix archive are available to paid subscribers—just upgrade your subscription and pipe full episodes directly to your favorite podcast app via your own private feed. Further reading:* Matt, on how Trump's scams will only get worse in a second term. * Brian on why progressive activists should lay off murder-suicide threats as “leverage.”* Greg Sargent on the Trump movement's many sadistic fantasies.* Jamelle Bouie on the people (immigrants) who will bear the brunt of this sadism.

Donald Trump was impeached twice. He has been indicted three times. He lost the 2020 election. And yet he's the clear Republican front-runner for 2024.Today on “Matter of Opinion,” Michelle Cottle, Ross Douthat and Carlos Lozada explore how Trump has created a winning political strategy and what his potential nomination could mean for Joe Biden, the Republican Party and the future of the country.(A full transcript of the episode will be available midday on the Times website.)Mentioned in this episode:“The Normal Paths to Beating Trump Are Closing,” by Ross Douthat for The New York Times“The Right Way to Resist Trump,” by Luigi Zingales in The New York Times“Rules for Resistance: Advice From Around the Globe for the Age of Trump,” by David Cole and Melanie Wachtell Stinnett“Trump and Allies Forge Plans to Increase Presidential Power in 2025,” by Jonathan Swan, Charlie Savage and Maggie Haberman for The New York Times“The Imperial Presidency,” by Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr.

Last week Tory rebels in parliament staged a dramatic insurrection against their own Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, blocking his plans for a “no-deal Brexit.”  But virtually no Republicans in Congress have resisted Trump.  Why is that?  D.D. Guttenplan compares and contrasts the two parties and political systems – he’s editor of The Nation, and he’s lived in Britain for the last 25 years. Also: It’s hard to keep track of Trump’s outrages—there are new ones virtually every day.  But Nation columnist Katha Pollitt remembers; she discusses almost every bad thing Trump did this summer.  And she takes up the question, is Trump getting worse?  More unhinged, more desperate, perhaps because he sees that his chances of winning reelection are not good? Plus: Thirteen House Republicans have announced their retirements in the past several weeks—they don’t want to run for reelection in 2020.  They are a diverse group, and include moderates as well as conservatives, some newcomers and some with decades of seniority, two of the party’s 13 women, and its only African-American Congressman.  How much can the Democrats hope to gain from this development?  John Nichols comments--he’s National Affairs Correspondent for The Nation and host of the “Next Left” podcast.      

On today's edition of TruNews, we discuss the demise of the old world order which birthed the resist Trump movement and the anti Brexit hysteria, and we address what we believe will take its place. In the headlines we detail the secret war summit in Poland being used to rally support for conflict with Iran and the latest push by the infanticide industry to harvest the organs of the unborn. Rick Wiles, Edward Szall, Doc Burkhart, Kerry Kinsey.

In this week's episode... 00:30 - Happy Black History Month to everyone, especially those who ask "Why isn't there a White History Month?" 01:00 - And Happy Black Panther Month! 02:10 - What can we do for Black History Month? Learn about more black history than just MLK and Rosa Parks *coughWHITEPEOPLEcough* 04:00 - Heather has a theory about a possible candidate for Antichrist. Have you checked your Alexa for the Mark of the Beast? 07:25 - After Jeff Bezos's purchase of Whole Foods, employees are subject to abusive "scorecards" while new stocking systems leave stores with no produce. 09:30 - Amazon is also launching a real-life Black Mirror episode, plotting to outfit workers with creepy tracking devices. 11:25 - Most insidious: Amazon, along with two other major businesses, wants to "fix" healthcare with the aim of more private sector control over medicine. 14:11 - A more symbolic "Mark of the Beast": cashless transactions and automated Near Field technology will further exclude the poor and marginalized from society. 18:25 - Hey MTA: These proposed technological improvements to the subway mean jack if the trains never run on time! 19:28 - (Shout-out to #SwipeItForward) 20:30 - More corporate take-over: Immigrants rounded up by ICE are being held in for-profit prisons. Which are a source of (slave) labor for Whole Foods and Amazon. 22:30 - Was it even worth watching Trump's State of the Union? By Thursday, the White House already had a dozen new scandals taking up the news. And of course, it was riddled with lies. 24:50 - MEMOGATE. The much hyped Devin Nunes memo outing FBI "Deep State" corruption revealed nada. Meanwhile, Leftists are in the uncomfortable position of actually supporting the damn Feds. 26:15 - What are the odds on a Trump impeachment?

As #MeToo heroes go, Rose is not great. 37:25 - Shout-out to Andi Dier, the trans woman who called out McGowan (and is now getting slammed for it). 49:05 - Another #WFOTW: A teacher in The Bronx goes way too far in a history lesson about slavery, traumatizing her black students. This happens a couple times every year, like blue moons and Alec Baldwin spewing misogyny/homophobia in public. 58:21 - Your homework for Black History Month: learn all you can about Black History, Black Present, and Black Future. Read a damn book. Give to black organizations. 58:45 - Shout-out to BYP (Black Youth Project), a great organization for teaching the next generation to organize and lead.

Recorded January 13, 2017. Back in 1971, when Democrats were Democrats and Republicans were Republicans, Ted Kennedy opposed Nixoncare because it put Americans' health in the insurance industry's hands. Single payer was the only answer. Nearly 40 years later, the more conservative Obamacare is reviled by Republicans but unanimously embraced by Democrats and their media. Why do we stand by and cheer while both parties pass legislation benefiting the health of their donors' stocks and portfolios? (Listen in for the INSANE profit percentages insurers have made!) Should our lives be dependent on coverage through health insurers who invented the dreadful "pre-existing condition?"  Bernie tells a "moderate Democrat" student at a CNN Town Hall ,who is concerned about "demonizing the wealthy," that we have to "change the culture" of our political system and our country. With Donald Trump preaching the "prosperity gospel" at his inauguration, have both parties conspired to get us past the point of changing the culture of profit over people? Did 13 Democrats actually block Bernie's amendment to allow re-importation of drugs from Canada? Will we wake up and realize that both parties are killing us softly with their rhetoric? In our Chicago Progress segment, Steve Edwards of Chicago Socialist Alternative tells us there's still hope! He updates us on upcoming "Resist Trump" events and lays out the rationale for why neither party will provide us with the government that works for the 99%. In every podcast, we offer direct action you can take to resist the insanity of Trump and the Republicans, and redirect the impostors in the Democratic Party. Get involved, get out in the streets, make the calls and let your voice be heard! The What Would Bernie Sanders Do Podcast is Dr. Barry Kaufman with Host Darren Stephens and is produced in Chicago by Ruth Kaufman.
